Not long after the year the Moparts sponsored entry competed in the EM competition, it was announced that the on site barometer at Westech was “off”, and that with that corrected…….the results were on the order of 5% lower.

The year we competed, the preliminary testing was done at 3 separate locations…..Westech being one of them.
The top 3 from each location would then have a shootout at Westech to determine the winner.

Some of the entries from the other two locations saw big gains on the Westech dyno.

There was an “official” explanation that involved some oddball weather anomaly, blah blah blah.
Then at some point after that the barometer story came out.

My recollection is that after the barometer story………the numbers did seem less ridiculous.
There was a time when I remember reading stuff in magazines and on line of engines being tested at Westech and feeling like the results they were reporting seemed so high it was insulting.
